Hi Therese
how exciting! I am totally new to this raw experience, have just kitted myself out with a vitamix blender(fantastic  best ever gadget I bought), food dehydrator, spiralizer and mandoline sclicer. I am just about ready to start, September 1st is D-day for a personal spring clean for me.
You have just given me an idea. I work in a primary healthcare centre as a social worker, and I could ask our nutritionist/dietician (who is quite open-minded) to supervise my raw food transformation. A little bit of evidence-based success can go a long way!
Thanks Therese for sharing your information, I wish you all the best and I will check your experiment's progress out on youtube.
